OUR CENTER DIRECTOR:

Patricia Haly:

Patricia grew up in the beautiful town Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania in big house full of love and 5 siblings. She graduated from Garnet Valley High School with high honors and went on to attend Indiana University of Pennsylvania where she majored in Food and Nutrition, Psychology, and English. It was there that she developed a love for outdoor sports like skiing and snowboarding, and began modeling and selling cosmetics to support her new hobbies. Patricia also has written short stories and poems and was published the first time while still in college.

She then returned to the Fulton Paper Company Family Business where she had grown up watching and learning business and sales from her father. She remained there for 15 years until she became a mom, her most cherished and challenging role. She returned to the work force later as a Decorator, teaching and speaking throughout Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Patricia firmly believes in giving back and after seeing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, she trained and studied to become a Mass Disaster Volunteer for The Red Cross. This was their highest level of trained volunteer and the first to be sent following major disasters. She is also the Delaware Valley Chapter Ambassador for the Alzheimer's Association, and started a program named The Unknown Soldier where she teachs children and adults how to sew and make gifts, such as Christmas stocking that they fill with gifts and send to our soldiers around the world. Finally Patricia enjoys water sports like skiing and wakeboarding. Like many, she is most at peace on the water.
